Jets 5, Flames 3: Defenseman Paul Postma snapped a tie midway through the third period with his first goal of the season as visiting Winnipeg halted Calgary's four-game winning streak.

Carl Klingberg scored his first career goal while Michael Frolik and Evander Kane tallied in the first period as the Jets wrapped up their regular season by winning back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 27-March 1. Blake Wheeler scored into an empty net and Michael Hutchinson, making his third career start and third in a row, turned aside 35 shots.

Rookie Sean Monahan and defenseman Kris Russell scored power-play goals 24 seconds apart while Jiri Hudler recorded a tally and an assist for the Flames, who allowed a total of five goals during their winning streak. Karri Ramo made 22 saves in losing for the first time in four starts.

Calgary, which had scored two power-play goals in its previous six games, quickly matched that total as Monahan beat a sprawling Hutchinson from the bottom of the right faceoff circle at 11:46 of the second period before Russell converted from the top of the left circle to tie it at 3-3. But Postma pounded a slap shot past a screened Ramo at 9:16 of the third and Wheeler scored in the final minute to seal it.

Winnipeg grabbed a 2-0 lead after one period as Frolik's wrister caromed off Calgary's T.J. Brodie and Kane buried a shot from the left circle off a drop pass from Bryan Little. Hudler halved the deficit with a redirection of Matt Stajan's shot 64 seconds into the second, but Klingberg restored the two-goal lead with a wraparound at 8:48 for his first career tally.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Kane's goal was the 99th of his career as well as his 200th point. ... Forward Johnny Gaudreau of Boston College, a fourth-round pick by Calgary in 2011, on Friday was named the Hobey Baker Award winner as the top college player in the nation. Gaudreau and BC teammate Bill Arnold signed entry-level deals with the Flames on Friday night. ... Jets D Jacob Trouba did not return after taking a deflected shot to the face in the first period. C Jim Slater also left with an injury and did not return. ... Stajan extended his point streak to six games for the Flames, who wind up the season Sunday in Vancouver.
